MAMMOTH, August 15.

DEAR ENTERPRISE: We'll, Rev. Mfr. Gill held services here again last Thursday evening. It is good thing for Man. moth to have a church for a great many of the boys havn't been inside of one for months. (see Hinson Thomas. There is at present, working in the mine 8 man upon whom the fate of the nation during the dark and bloody times of '64 turned. This is ex-Corporal Null doom, late of Sherman's army. At one of the seven battles before Atlanta fell, when Johnston was giving Sherman all he wanted to take care of, Corporal Mul- doom was squatting behind stone fence pouring death and destruction into the confederate ranks, when a shell from a confederate siege gun burst immediately in his rear turning "Tam' complete sum- mersault over the fence. General Sher- man who had been keeping an eye on Mu'. doom, seeing the effect of the explos sion, rode up in a gallop and exclaimed, Cor poral Muldoon ar yes kilt! Nav giner- sl; am not" "Glory be to God, for that i; now let the fight go on."
 This is truth, for have heard Mul- doom tell it.
 Our worthy superintendent, Capt. J. w. Johnston, is in Tucson in the hands of 8 doctor, he having got outside of too much of the San Pedro malaria. All here are | rejoiced to learn he IS much better and expected home to night.
 G. Fl. Barnhart the assayer, left Satur- day for Tucson, to receive the first in stallment of tools and supplies for the Sample mine. Harry Is now General Superinte ndent of the ''San Pedro Min ing Co.," and "brave little lad'' he is too; eminently qualified, practically and theoretically, to fill the position, and as he has very good property to work we may soon look for something from Dudleyviile in the way of min ing boom.
 Col. Andrew Wallace, Supt. of the Mammoth Mill, and MT. Chas. Little, Supt of the Mammoth Mine, have ap- piled for and obtained leave of absence after two years of arduous and close at- tention to business. They propose to take two months trip through North ern Arizona into Southern Utah, and Nevada, thence home by San Francisco, and the city of the Angels. There will be no cessation of operations at either mine or mill on account of their absence.
 The mine is looking better than ever, immense ore bodies are all blocked out and in reserve ready for stoping; enough in fact to run the 30 stamps for years.
 Mrs. Bettie Burch was taken into Tue son foi medical treatment last week, she having suffered a relapse. All her friends anxiously .await news as to her condition, hoping fer the best.
 Ezekiels & SoweI are still yankine the dollars out of those who hunger and thirst. Louis has assumed staid and digni6ed demeanor since his commission as and makes very efficient and obliging P. M MT. Sower and wife and daught- CT are on short visit to Tucson.
 Glorious rains have fallen last week, and the San Pedro Is on the rampage. The cattle are all smiles at the rapidly improving prospect for good winter feed.
 The business houses here are all doing well. Dick Nicholson has secured ground and expects to move his build ings and business up to the mine.
 There is report that Capt. Jack Bur gess has sold his big copper mines at Ta- ble Mt, 12 miles north of here, to a New York; syndicate. If this is so, look out for mTrs JuII,s---ts- p:s.a, ce..,-.+y'. credit. Prof J. Douglas Jr.is at the head of the Company which is a guaran- ty of it's financial solidity. The road brigade comprising Shoshusen, Snyder, and Scully are hard at work mending the road. Bueno!
 We'll, with the advice to all Floren- tines, be good and you will be happy; be honest and remain poor, will bld you, au revoir.
